@smrr: Thanks :) Regarding values in the pencil sketches, I agree, they could use lots more value ranges in shading and I actually have the urge to do just that lots of times, but for me when sketching it´s always a mixture of not wanting to overrender the design and putting in the extra amount of time it takes to really render them out nicely vs. using the time for a new sketch. E.g. the sketches below are a bit more pushed value-wise, and they could even be pushed lots more. But regarding time, even in this state, it took about twice as much as I would normally use. So I also have a focus in mind when sketching. Mostly design, but most of the time just getting proportions, perspective etc. right or plainly getting an idea down. Value is, at least in these sketches, secondary as they are not finished products for me. (except when I focus on value studying...which I should do more often) Hope that somehow explains my thought process while sketching :)
